			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It goes without saying that when two people are on a date they want to have fun and enjoy themselves. You are no different from the rest in this. But other than words did you ever stop to think about body language? The first conversation is always by body language. A confident person will be relaxed, smile, lean in while talking to you and be very animated in whatever he is trying to say to you.  But a person who is tense will show it in all his postures. He might sit back, cross his legs or arms, eyes darting around the room and barely a smile on the face. So convey your confidence through your body language.</p>
<p>Next check out how vocal you are. It’s your verbal skills that are going to do the first job of creating an impression.  How you carry on a conversation and how your partner responds to you are all determined by your verbal skills. This is one way of increasing your chances of getting more dates. So how do you go about finding interesting topic to create an interesting discussion or conversation?</p>
<p>A conversation is governed by two parts i.e. asking questions and answering questions. The right questions gain the right atmosphere and ensure that your partner too enjoys answering them.</p>
<p>The wrong questions and you can say good night to the date before it even began. Evasive answers or even not so honest answers will end the date faster than you can ask the next question.</p>
<p>Questions carry some power in them because if you ask anyone a direct question then the other feels obligated to answer you. There are some interesting conversation openers you can use like ask about the person hobbies. If they have spare time then how do they use it? Do they have that special place they want to travel to?</p>
<p>These types of questions have a tendency of bringing up past experience which can tell you a lot about the person. These are just some ideas of course the sky is the limit for topics. So think up of what you would like to know and then formulate some questions which don’t make you seem like the CBI out to get information and watch you and your date have a really enjoyable time with the good chance of there being more dates in the future.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is a question that can send even the sanest of people in to a bit of a tizzy. In the olden days cavemen took their date to a cave smack in the middle of nowhere and cleanliness was not debatable. But today a date has to be properly planned and executed if you want to take the relationship out of its nest so to speak.  There are a lot of do’s while planning a date but there are a lot of don’t also.</p>
<p>The one you must never do is take your date to your folks. This is a clear indication that you are a mama’s boy and that just might signal the end before it even began. A sleazy joint just around the corner or out back will not help your cause either. It might scare her enough to take a chance with the burly truck driver and hitch hike her way home than stick with the likes of you.</p>
<p>Your first date should be simple, easy to carry out and not intimidating to the other person. The idea is to get to know her not give her food for thought and that too junk food like the above mentioned places. A coffee date is a nice idea or then a lunch. This way if you find you are getting along well then you have the rest of the day to continue the date or then if things are not quite what you wanted then you have an escape route already in place without embarrassing either party.</p>
<p>If you sense some chemistry or a connection of some sort then you could try going to an amusement park or a theme park for your first date. These are fun places and you get so busy just having fun that the first date pressures get left behind and you open up to the other person. A museum is another good place to visit as it can be quite a conversation opener and doing something that the lady in question like to do will help you get to know here and take the relationship forward too.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Flirting is an art and you will find that women and men flirt in different ways. The main difference lies in the fact that both have a different idea of what the result or outcome of the flirt session should be and because of this the reasons for flirting are also different. Flirting to be just friendly will open up newer avenues and if you don’t end up with a lover you would have made a good friend who just might introduce you to some potential dates. So keep the outcome factor on the back burner and keep an open mind so you get the most out of your flirting</p>
<p>If you see someone you like and she notices you, smile, exchange glances and if you feel that she may be interested then try sending her a drink. Remember it is she who must indicate that there is some interest. Another thing, you have only sent her a drink to see her receive it and smile a thank you so don’t expect dinner and desert. Give her a little time to enjoy her drink than glance her way again to indicate an interest.</p>
<p>Let’s say she accepts your drink and extends an invitation to join her table. Here you must remember to be part of the conversation going and not focus on getting that date. Like most women she too would like to get to know the person before committing to even a drink at a later date. Weave a conversation in a way that you get to know her and she gets to know more about you and feels confident enough to accept as and when you do ask her for a date.</p>
<p>A big mistake on your part would be to make an attempt at getting to know two women on the same table. Neither will think very highly of you as no woman likes to feel she is second best. Secondly don’t even approach them one after the other as here you send out signals that you may be a loser and may be desperate for a date too. You may be desperate but don’t let it show.</p>
<p>Now complimenting a woman is an art by itself. No woman like over the top compliments. Find something genuine to compliment her on and be selective with your compliments so they have more credibility. Everyone has something nice about them like their eyes, their smile, their hair, style of talking etc so find one and then give the compliment.</p>
<p>Touch is yet another no-no. Ensure that you re talking to a woman who does not mind touch a part of the conversation. There are some who like it there re others who hate it and there are those who are completely horrified that a strange person touched them. As a flirting action nothing beats touching but just light touching like an arm over the back of the chair she’s sitting on. Respect the person till you feel you have gained enough ground to get a little more familiar. Personal space is sacred so test it before you walk in.</p>
<p>Last but not the least, respect yourself too. Women tend to go for men who make themselves a wee bit difficult to get. You are special and you know you deserve the best so don’t grovel or show that you are desperate.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For a women being romantic means those little glances, a touch or a look her way, kind of thing. Flowers while being nice are also kind of overdone now days. Romance comes form your imagination. Almost anything can be a romantic gesture if done correctly and presented stylishly. Mix and match ideas and use your imagination creatively. The most important factor is in keeping the lady’s lies ahead of your own.</p>
<p>It’s quite easy to create romantic moments so women often wonder why men can’t figure it out. Find out some activities that she likes to do and then build something romantic around it or with it. There are so many things like walking on the beach, fine dining, movies etc where you will find you can do a lot to work out some romantic moments. Maybe she likes shopping, which of course most men would not care to eve think about but if you go along with her once in a while you will score brownie points.</p>
<p>Finally it comes down to doing the things she likes to do. What would make it the most romantic gesture ever would be if you forgo some football match or your favorite program to do something she likes to do Giving her the feeling that she is the chosen one will make her feel on top of the world and it is probably your best romantic gesture ever,</p>
<p>In most cases it’s not the activity that is the cause of any problem but the fact that you were there physically but mentally you were elsewhere. So be alert to whatever is that you are doing together and give it your fullest attention. The aim is to be romantic so stick with the script.</p>
<p>To make some romantic moments, plan a little, think a little and keep your eyes open for an opportunity whenever and wherever you are. There can be romantic moments in the day to day things that you do also. It’s a win-win situation so make the most of your romantic moments. .</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It only sounds difficult but it’s not so difficult to meet women and take them out on a  date and even take them home to meet your folks. One option is the singles bars and clubs that dot the town or cities. But here , a word of caution, you may not be able to tell the good girls from the bad so be careful and if possible avoid these places.</p>
<p>Women you at work are good as colleagues but here would be very few who you can date. If the date does not turn out okay then you could find working together an awkward situation. A better option is to ask your friends to introduce you to their women friends whom you have not met. They may have cousins or sisters whom you could meet but try and stay out of the blond date scene. In most cases the date does not work out and you end up spending a whole lot of money.</p>
<p>Your club or the social organization you belong to may be a good place to meet women. Here you share a common ground already so conversation is not a problem. You will have seen them interact with others so you have a fair idea of how they conduct themselves and you can get to a know a lot by their body language, their friends circle etc. if you are not part of any group right now then first join something where the interest are well matched with yours. You will find clubs from astrology to zoology so find your first.</p>
<p>Did you know that Sunday church is a good place to meet new women. If there are no single women in the church you go to then find one where there are a lot of single women and join that for some time. A church has enough going on for you to get to know her before you ask her out on a date.</p>
<p>Civic organizations are another good place to start. Women really like men who are civic minded. Or then you could try political campaigns if you are politically inclined. An online dating service is not a bad place to start either. Here you get profiles and chat with potential dates before you actually meet them. When you do find someone please ensure that you meet in the day hours and someplace very public.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are still looking for Ms Perfect then by now you must be really tired of waiting and you may even wonder if Ms Perfect who is perfect for you even exist. The point is the Ms Perfect belongs to the silver screen and in your imagination. In reality there is no such thing as Ms Perfect. So now you know why your Ms Perfect has not put in an appearance to date. It’s because she lives only in your mind and your imagination not in real life. Dating with your eyes closed is not a good idea and if you are going to waste time looking for someone who’s in your head then you will make no headway in the dating arena.</p>
<p>Don’t get so involved in your hunt for the perfect one or in dating that you lose sight of the qualities you should be looking for. If you look for things that make the person perfect for you then you will find someone.</p>
<p>It’s good to be confident about what you want but if you feel that no woman can give you what you want then you need to re write your list. First see what you do want then look for someone who will fit the bill the closest. You could be looking for specific qualities or attributes then you may have some attributes where you feel you could accommodate a difference or even a lack of it for some other quality. These are all the things to think about and keep in mind.</p>
<p>It’s an old adage which says that nobody is perfect. Everybody has faults. Some have big faults others have huge faults and yet others have tiny faults with larger than life impact on others around them. Then there are faults you can ignore or just overlook and then there are some faults that simply won’t do even if they belong to Ms beautiful on planet earth itself.</p>
<p>You cannot control any persons thoughts so even if you try your hardest to impress sometimes it may not work. A better option is to pay more attention to your desires and needs and then see how much of those would be fulfilled if you date the woman you are thinking of dating.   That might give you more of a chance to find someone close to. That might give you more of a chance to find someone close Ms Perfect or Ms Perfect but perfect only for you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the most important factors in any relationship is the need to communicate. Without communication any relationship, be it business personal or family will find it difficult to stay alive. Communication can be defined as a two way exchange of ideas and opinions between people. It’s a combination of words and actions which together convey one’s thoughts and feelings to the other. Both actions and words are equally important. Here we are going to talk about verbal communication, the kind that is essential to get any relationship off the ground. We are of course talking about success in the art of dating and the need for verbal communication to carry out the same. <a href="http://abetterdate.com/paying-more-attention-to-your-date/#more-21" class="more-link">(more&#8230;)</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Romance is not the same if there are no romantic gestures for romancing a woman. To seduce a woman and make a great impression you need to go all out to make the date as romantic as possible. This means creating an occasion out of a no occasion day. There are no rules in romance and certainly none that say you have to wait for a special day to swing by to make it a romantic day.</p>
<p>During your learning process about women you may have figured out that there are some things that all women find romantic. If you have a good idea of what your lady likes or does not like then you can really plan a nice romantic outing for the two of you. If you don’t know your lady too well then don’t fret. There are some tried and tested do’s to romance that never fail. Moreover the very thought that goes in to planning a romantic outing is a romantic gesture in itself which will make her feel special and will impress too.</p>
<p>Most of the ideas don’t take up much time in getting it all together. As mentioned above, the smallest of things can come across as a romantic gesture which will always impress and make the woman feel special. For an outing try a candlelit picnic in a park or some place quiet. You can put a picnic hamper together with things both of you like to eat like cheese and strawberries and some wine. Take along a music box or a CD player so you have music and some dancing and an evening that will be remembered for a long time to come. But carry a blanket if you feel the weather might turn.</p>
<p>Another good idea is to have a candlelight dinner for two at your home. Make sure the menu consists of what she likes best and if you have cooked it then it adds to the romantic gestures list else you can always order in. Tidy up your place if you feel it’s untidy so she does not trip over shoes out for a walk on their own or a gym bag.   Keep the music on and a nice wine, add a vase of the flowers she likes and you have the perfect setting.</p>
<p>The whole idea is that you do things that are sure to please her and you can’t go wrong with that now can you?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For success in the world of seduction, sensitivity towards the other person is very essential. A woman has a very unique perspective on how she would look at a man and one of the first things she sees is whether the man is sensitive or not. This is one area which can make or break a prospective relationship. Lack of sensitivity can act as a big put off for most women. Ensure that you do have a sensitive side and that your lady friend sees this side of you ever so often.</p>
<p>Basically sensitivity is an emotion or a desired trait in a person and this can be defined as someone who is aware of the things happening around. Such awareness would make the person sensitive to the other and to the situation. For example, you hear some bad news and you tell your colleague about it, the next minute the same colleague turns and cracks a joke and everyone has a good laugh. That is being insensitive to the other’s hurt or grief at that point of time. Unfortunately being sensitive is one trait that has got the wrong end of the stick from society in general.</p>
<p>So now you know what sensitivity is and you feel you may be ready to deal with it. But no, did you realize that it’s not just being sensitive that a woman is looking for? Now comes the difficult part. It’s not just your awareness of things around you that count. Women look for a specific type of sensivity from men.</p>
<p>A classic example would be straight from the movies where a couple is seen walking down the road on a cold chilly night and the guy takes off his coat  and puts it around her shoulders and bears the cold himself. That’s sensitivity. Of course in real life it could go on to the man making some sacrifice for the woman and this would then be a really impressive gesture on his part. This ability to be more caring of the other’s welfare will impress ladies beyond doubt.</p>
